How Do You Feel When You Look At Your Home?
"A garden is a home make up"
There's a reason homes with pretty gardens sell for 15% more - it's worth it
Have you noticed the difference between a boring house and a gorgeous home?
Yes, the architecture, windows, and paint do play a role
But have you ever seen a mouth-dropping home without a garden? Find one, I'll wait
But any default square home will look adorable with a good landscape
According to Flowing Data, we spend 62% of our waking time at home, more than half of our life
And some people spend over half of their life inside something that they, nor their neighbors can drop their jaw to.
Now here's the thing
After spending 20+ years teaching my undergraduate and graduate students how to create world-class gardens, defend their PhD thesis, and teach others the same, I found out how to make any home look extraordinary, by doing a single thing...
Changing its garden - and making sure it will survive the harshest summer and winters
Using native or international plants
Integrating the open space to make it more "livable"
Have you ever passed by a front yard and it looked so nice you craved to sit down and have a coffee?
Ok I'll take it back, not every home can have a garden like this
There are two requirements that a home needs to meet to have a garden that will make your neighbors envious
1st: Be legally able to do it, so you need to own your home or have your landlord's approval.
2nd: Be willing to do it, as with all good things, it takes time, so you need to be patient, there will be digging and watering
Now, if you meet those 2 criteria, scroll up to the "contact" page and shoot me an email, and I will personally go to your yard and create a personalized plan on how we can do this.
Sincerely,
Beatriz.
